User's guide for the Interactive Optimization System (INTEROP). [In FORTRAN IV for CDC CYBER-173]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6848845
The Interactive Optimization System (INTEROP) is a collection of interactive search direction algorithms for constrained and unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems. The user can interactively define the optimization model, select the optimization algorithm, and change the optimization model as desired. The INTEROP optimization model is defined in terms of parameters (optimization variables) and states which are linear and nonlinear functions of the parameters. The objective function is formed interactively as a linear combination of the parameters and states. These states and parameters can be bounded or set equal to a constant. The optimization routines use conjugate gradient search direction algorithms and penalty functions. INTEROP is written in FORTRAN IV for the CDC CYBER-173. No external storage devices are used. The program is available from the Argonne Code Center, 9700 South Cass Avenue, Argonne, Illinois 60439. 8 figures, 3 tables.
